It's been brought to my attention that the host for the site has changed some file permissions, this change means that people can no longer upload an avatar directly from their computer to the site.

However, users can upload their avatar to a service such as Imgur or Imageshack and remotely upload their avatar instead and the avatar will display as per normal. (see the third upload option on the avatars section of your profile).

With that in mind, Do NOT delete your avatar before downloading it, as, I won't be able to retrieve your avatar if you choose to delete it.
